". . .But the Entwives gave their minds to the lesser trees, and to the meads in the sunshine beyond the feet of the forests; and they saw the sloe in the thicket, and the wild apple and the cherry blossoming in spring, and the green herbs in the waterlands in summer, and the seeding grasses in the autumn fields. They did not desire to speak with these things; but they wished them to hear and obey what was said to them. The Entwives ordered them to grow according to their wishes, and bear leaf and fruit to their liking; for the Entwives desired order, and plenty, and peace (by which they meant that things should remain where they had set them). So the Entwives made gardens to live in. But we Ents went on wandering, and we only came to the gardens now and again. Then when the Darkness came in the North, the Entwives crossed the Great River, and made new gardens, and tilled new fields, and we saw them more seldom. After the Darkness was overthrown the land of the Entwives blossomed richly, and their fields were full of corn. Many men learned the crafts of the Entwives and honored them greatly; but we were only a legend to them, a secret in the heart of the forest. Yet here we still are, while all the gardens of the Entwives are wasted: Men call them the Brown Lands now. . . Very fair were the Entwives! For the Entwives were bent and browned by their labor; their hair parched by the sun to the hue of ripe corn and their cheeks like red apples. Yet their eyes were still the eyes of our own people."

LOTR Prompt #3: The Entwives
Write from the POV of Wandlimb, Entwife to Treebeard, or one of the other Entwives. From the destruction of their Gardens in Rhovanion and their disappearance, to their exodus and migration to some distant land, to their possible reunion with their Ent-husbands.
Does the Entwife hold hope for a reunion between Ents and Entwives in the future? What happened to the Entwives? Where did they go and stay? Where and why did they hide? Why didn't they seek their Ent-husbands? Are they still Ents, or have they become "tree-ish"? Are they still alive, or were they destroyed?
What is the fate of the Entwives? Will they be seen again?
